Some people are trying their best to avoid politics outside of election season, and a lot of them are taking them in good faith.
When I first voted for Fidesz in 2009 and 2010, I didn't know about the "Székház ügy" (Hall Controversy - Fidesz sold a hall given to them for crazy amounts of money, which they dumped into media to attack the MSZP government of 1994-1998), and my mother to this day does not want to acknowledge it. People just saw that the MSZP-SZDSZ didn't do a lot of good, tried to sell our hospitals to for-profit corporations, etc.
Most voters aren't politically savvy terminally online weirdos, but weirdos that want to hear a story, a narrative.
We need a left-wing populist narrative! Not economic jargon, and also not the kind of leftist rhetoric that terminally online tankies on lemmygrad and hexbear are spouting (most destructive thing that can happen to leftism), but someone who will translate it to the language of the common people.
